Re: Members to be TCM Guest Programmers

Well I can tell you these "special guest programmers" evenings are a total success for us viewers! It is much more enjoyable to listen in to a friendly conversation between two film fans (one being pro ROsborne) discussing what they enjoy about a film, it's impact or meaning to your person...

Re: Help Me Build A Red-Scare/Cold War Collection

Please don't forget to check out avgeeks.com site for compilations of vintage educational shorts. I have the ABombs, Fall Out & Nuclear War collection and it's a scream! Please support these guys, they have spent a lot of time and money to collect & transfer these almost lost films to DVD. (...

Re: Robert Osborne's heir apparent?

You know who I'd love to see replace RobtO if (God forbid) he decided to retire?

Leonard Maltin

He is a long time film historian as well as handsome, well spoken, oh everything!

Re: GARBO!

And Sophia Loren's mother was a great beauty, I believe she won a Garbo look alike contest in her youth.
The only photo I could find on the internet:

Re: GARBO!

First of all, I want to say I love Garbo both the actress and the legend. When she is on the screen, you can't look at anything else but her face, she is outstandingly beautiful. He face is perfectly proportioned and symmetrical as is her physique. I make lampshades and chandeliers using my collecti...

Re: Coming Up on TCM

I want to recommend forgotten flick All Of Me that TCM will broadcast April 24 at midnight eastern time. If you like kooky angel/ghost sentimental type films like Here Comes Mr Jordon , most likely you'll enjoy this similar themed flick too. This film simply would not have worked without such super ...

Re: Members to be TCM Guest Programmers

I must be living vicariously through you guys, because when I saw the longer promo I squealed like a pig, I was so excited for you! Take my word for it, you all look really great and your enthusiasm comes across even in the quick few seconds of sound bites. I love CineMaven's hair, (you should give ...

I Restore Movie Posters!

Hope this isn't too "off topic", but I am a movie poster collector AND a museum trained restoration artist. I just picked up a stack of old posters and will start in restoring (removing old tape marks, fixing tears, cleaning surface) and then backing and matting with archival acid free mat...

Re: Chuck Jones and Bugs

The cartoon music stands on it's own. The first CD released in 1990 The Carl Stalling Project is unbelieveably interesting with sections of false starts in rehersals. The follow up Pt 2 CD is rather disappointing. A friend allowed me to dupe his 2 disc set of Looney Tunes music released maybe 5 year...

Naw, since you can't "cut & paste" on TV, he'd be sitting there with his mouth agape. :o

Re: Members to be TCM Guest Programmers

Last night I saw the Guest Programmers promo spot for the first time! I have to say, you all looked really wonderful! My first thought was if you had your hair & make up done by an professional TCM artists. I would be way too shy to be a GP, but I am so thrilled that "everday" people a...

Re: Chuck Jones and Bugs

I didn't think the Chuck Jones doc was great, but it was ok. It had some touches I really liked, as in the animation illustrating Chuck's voiceover, but using Jones's Looney Tunes clips seemed rather cheesy and jolted the earlier soft moods. But at least his last interview is preserved in a creative...

Re: Does anyone remember Susan Kohner

I love Susan K and wish I had been named for her rather than Susan Hayward! Check IMDB for many interesting facts about her; I believe she was the daughter of an actress and in turn her sons produce very popular films today-the American Pie series. She made too few films (imho) before retiring young...

Re: The great Oscar Levant

Another big Oscar fan here....I once drove 90 miles (each way) to see An American in Paris screened at the Eastman House. There were quite a few kids in the audience since it was a weekend-good that patrents wanted to expose their kids to "classic" film. Well, anytime Oscar was on the scre...

Re: Just Me ?

I'm another one who will be tuning in. Mainly to see the guest programmers, but because as usual, the last time DI was on, I fell asleep for the last 20 minutes.
